For the most part Dakota is correct.....We are a pair, but unfortunately when it comes to college ball or tournaments, our assigners split us up quite a bit. So there is still a chance.
We will work the same tournaments, just not the same games. And yes, we do work more 3-Person than the average umpire. In fact this spring I have worked exactly 5 games(4 HS and 5 College) 2-Person games out of approx 50 games. The wife is in the same boat as well.....Hmmm maybe thats why we are split up in Tournaments?????
Anyway, when we are together, we still communicate as though it was the first time we worked together. Once again I will state that little verbal communication(I can't stand secrete signals) on the ball diamond will get you out of alot of crazy situations. Further, when the coaches hear it, they think "Wow......These Umps are on top of things. I better not mess with them." and they will then leave you alone.....Which is good.
